MAJOR PAPERS:
- The Wall Street Journal reported that the Fed may act soon to confront banks' unwillingness to lend to each other.
- After several months of delays, The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) said its 787 Dreamliner is on track to fly its first aircraft in the first quarter of next year and deliver the plane to its first customer by the end of 2008. Full-rate aircraft production is slated for 2008 and 2009, the Wall Street Journal reported.
OTHER PAPERS:
- The Seattle Times reported that Cellcyte Genetics Corp (OTC: CCYG) has risen to a value of over $440M, a figure which the CEO says is an "amazing" show of investor confidence in the company's stem cell technology. The B.C. Securities Commission has cautioned that this may be a pump-and-dump stock scheme, where promoters take a large position in an inexpensive stock, hype it, and unload it onto unsuspecting investors.
- According to the UK Times, BAE Systems (OTC: BAESY) is looking to outbid rivals in what could be an A$1B deal for Australia's second-largest defense company, Tenix. Other bidders may include L-3, Carlyle Group and Leighton Holdings Ltd (OTC: LGTHF).
